An Act authorizing the Executive office of Health and Human Services to establish a direct care worker medication administration program registry

This bill creates a registry for direct care workers who administer medication, requiring their employing agencies to report specific details to the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS). Agencies must provide each worker’s name, ID, addresses, job title, certifications, and medication administration status, updating this information quarterly. EOHHS will maintain the registry, making only basic details (like name, ID, and training) publicly accessible while keeping sensitive information confidential unless requested by an agency or employee organization. The registry aims to improve oversight of medication administration, includes exemptions for victims of domestic violence or assault, and minimizes duplicate reporting for agencies.
